@RiotMeddler please do NOT buff Evelynn's damage flat out

Seeing on the PBE that her E is getting some damage buffs all around.

I play Evelynn a lot (lose a lot with her in higher elo right now, but still have great fun with her on other accounts). I can tell you this, her Damage isn't what needs changing. She has plenty of access to damage especially later in the game she becomes one of the strongest champions near full build. Buffing her damage only will just result in that insane burst pattern seen before her nerfs previously that people complained about with no skill expression really needed.

What I believe she needs is utility changes.

Currently, if you go to put your Charm on someone just as theyre leaving your vision range the ability won't get used even though your animation and sound for the ability plays. This needs to be changed to make chasing people just going into bushes easier.

Additionally, I've noticed that placing a charm on Baron when it is out of combat will consume the ability, make all the sounds, but do absolutely nothing. Ive had this occur multiple times to me in games when doing baron.

Finally, and this is less fixing something that doesnt seem to work properly but more straight up changes to make her stealth be more satisfying, give her some bonus Movement speed while in Demon Shade post 6, and make using her Ultimate out her in Demon Shade.

While the stealth part of Demon Shade would be near useless immediately after ulting since enemies would know the general area you are in anyways, having the passive regeneration would be far more useful. The bonus MS while stealthed would be nice to roam around the map a little easier without needing to invest super heavily in MS items and runes and could give Evelynn the option of going for the Ability healing rune instead of outside of combat MS rune.

OR

For those who love to build some AP/HP items on Evelynn, consider making the passive healing rate scale off of AP as well, such as to make the passive heal % of the cap per second rather than the meager 50/second late game currently. This would let her go in and out of fights far mlre easily.

Please consider these options rather than just straight buffing her damage, its not needed and she could use utility options far more.

The reason it's getting buffed is because the access to core raw AP is going down.

They literally turned item 3165 into an 80 AP item. item 3285 is losing AP.

item 3003 is losing AP.

Transcendence is losing AP.

It takes a LOT of AP to meet 100% HP in demon shade btw.... like a 650 AP game....

This is generally to keep in line the fact that AP will now do 100% chance Grievous wounds which means the base AP needs to be brought down, but Evelynn specifically has a kit which usually doesn't benefit from Grievous wounds, because the person she's attacking can't react anyways.

it also brings her jungle clear more in line with other clearers. Atm she sucks at keeping up in pace with other meta junglers like Warwick Udyr XinZhao Shyvana MasterYi who can all clear their jungles and invade hers by the time she gets to her level 3-4 camps.

Read what Spellbound Orb does on PBE, look at the stats, look at its low cost, then take a LONNNGGGG look at its active, use that brain of yours, and pray it doesn't catch on in korea, because when it does evelynn will be permabanned until the item is removed OR her kit is severely changed. I main eve as well, this item will break her. Get that freelo while you can, because one patch from now you'll have like 2 days then shes permaban status.
